    Frequently Asked Question

    To set up multi-factor authentication (MFA), follow these general steps: Choose your preferred MFA method—an authenticator app (recommended) or email.

    While DS Logon MFA setup differs from ImmiAccount, the general process is similar: Log in to your DS Logon account. Navigate to account settings or security settings. Choose your MFA method—such as a mobile authenticator app. Follow the steps to scan a QR code or receive a code via SMS or email. Complete verification to activate MFA on your DS Logon account. Note: For specific instructions, refer to the official DS Logon support or documentation.

    Activating a multi-factor authentication (MFA) server typically involves: Installing MFA software or enabling it on an identity provider (e.g., Microsoft, Okta, Google). Configuring policies for user access and authentication methods. Connecting user databases and enabling MFA per user or group. Integrating it with applications or portals requiring secure login. For ImmiAccount users, no separate MFA server setup is needed, the system handles this during user configuration.
